Phase-field modeling of grain evolutions in additive manufacturing from nucleation, growth, to coarsening

Abstract A three-dimensional phase-field model is developed to simulate grain evolutions during powder-bed-fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing, while the physically-informed temperature profile is implemented from a thermal-fluid flow model. The phase-field model incorporates a nucleation model base...
